1. Expose the three major side effects of inferior electric toothbrushes!
What are the side effects of electric toothbrushes? Judging from the facts, if you rashly use unprofessional electric toothbrushes, there are indeed serious side effects of tooth damage. The oral health of Chinese people is very poor, more than ninety percent of adults suffer from oral diseases such as dental caries, periodontitis, gingivitis, etc., but because the symptoms are not obvious, everyone basically does not know it, so they are very careless when buying electric toothbrushes, and it is easy to be fooled into buying unprofessional products, and the result is often to hurt teeth.
The side effects of an inferior electric toothbrush are as follows:
Side effect 1: Wear teeth and scratch gums
Inferior electric toothbrushes have rough and sharp bristles and unstable vibration frequency, which will inevitably hurt teeth and gums, resulting in tooth sensitivity, toothache, gum bleeding and other problems.
Side effect 2: Chronic tooth injury
Long-term use of unprofessional electric toothbrush brushing will also cause the problem of chronic tooth injury, this harm is very hidden, users may have been a few months or even half a year when they find themselves injured teeth, at this time most of them have begun to appear gum recession, loose teeth and other serious oral health problems!
Side effect 3: Aggravate the underlying dental disease
Chinese people generally have dental diseases such as tooth sensitivity, gingivitis, periodontitis, etc., if you use an unprofessional electric toothbrush to clean the mouth when you suffer from dental disease, dental disease is easy to aggravate.
Second, be sure to stay away from the four types of IQ tax products!
What are the side effects of electric toothbrushes?We now understand that the side effects of inferior electric toothbrushes are that they can cause tooth damage, so how to avoid tooth damage has become our top priority, and to do this, we must understand the cause of the problem of poor quality electric toothbrushes hurting teeth. The following figure is the survey statistics of the negative evaluation of electric toothbrushes by authoritative media, we can see that the poor quality of electric toothbrushes is the main cause of tooth injuries, and there are a large number of inferior products on the market, in order to keep everyone away from inferior electric toothbrushes, buy without stepping on thunder, I have taken stock of the four most common IQ tax products in the electric toothbrush industry, we must stay away.
1. Analyze the three types of electric toothbrushes: rotary, sweeping, and sonic type
There are three types of electric toothbrushes: rotary, sweeping and sonic type, among which the vibration frequency of sweeping and rotating products is generally higher than 60,000 times per minute, and the sweeping angle even reaches more than 60 degrees, and the dentist believes that the reasonable sweeping range of electric toothbrushes should be 3-9 °, and the damage to the gums and teeth is relatively large, and the oral environment of the Chinese people is not suitable, which is easy to cause problems such as tooth sensitivity and brushing bleeding, and is only suitable for some European and American people with high oral tolerance. For the oral state of the Chinese people, dentists recommend that you use a sonic electric toothbrush with excellent cleaning power and high tooth protection, compared with rotary and sweeping type, sonic electric toothbrush can help you better maintain dental health, but you need to use a sonic electric toothbrush that has been professionally tuned.
2. Ultra-low-cost electric toothbrush
In order to compete in the market and attract consumers, many businesses have launched low-cost electric toothbrushes, which seem to be very cost-effective, but in fact they are very pit, think about it carefully, if the electric toothbrush material is good and there is professional technology, its cost is destined to be not very low, and these ultra-low-cost electric toothbrushes will generally use unrounded bristles, coreless motors and other inferior components to make electric toothbrushes, the failure rate of the product is very high, such as high working noise, weak power, Complaints such as poor battery life occur frequently, and such an electric toothbrush is easy to hurt your teeth!
3. Cross-border brand
Many brands were not in the oral care industry before, but seeing that electric toothbrushes have been very popular in the past two years, they may be famous, but in fact, such electric toothbrush brands generally lack oral care experience, lack of sufficient professional and technical strength to optimize the gum and tooth protection experience, long-term attenuation, sweeping angle and other more than 100 core parameters of the electric toothbrush, and the tooth injury rate is more than 3 times higher than that of professional brands!
4. Internet celebrity products
Internet celebrity brands are more keen on marketing hype, but they do not pay much attention to the professional technology of electric toothbrushes, the production cost of the product may only be a few dozen yuan, but the price can reach thousands of yuan, they do not have enough oral care experience and professional technology precipitation, the actual use of it feels very bad, gum bleeding, tooth pain are common, long-term use may also cause chronic tooth problems.
3. There is a secret to the purchase of electric toothbrushes: eight tricks to help you accurately avoid lightning!
What are the side effects of electric toothbrushes? From the above analysis of the causes of tooth injury, you can see that the problem of tooth injury will basically occur because of improper product selection, so if you want to avoid the occurrence of tooth injury, you must work the purchase and buy professional and high-quality products. But many people don't know how to choose, in order to let everyone avoid the minefield when buying, I share here the eight purchase secrets I summarized, you just copy the homework.
Tip 1: Buy an electric toothbrush with strong professional and technical strength
Professional electric toothbrush brands will carry out fine compatibility matching according to the big data of the oral environment of the Chinese people, and constantly optimize and improve the more than 100 core parameters such as the uniform stability of the vibration frequency, sweeping amplitude, and power intensity range of the electric toothbrush, and the tooth injury rate of the electric toothbrush can be more than 3 times lower than that of unprofessional Internet celebrities!
Tip 2: It is best to sweep the vibration angle between 3-9 degrees
It is recommended that you use an electric toothbrush with a sweeping angle between 3-9 degrees, if the sweeping angle is too large, it may irritate your gums and teeth when used, resulting in tooth injury, but it is not recommended to choose an electric toothbrush with a sweeping angle too small, which may reduce the cleaning power of the product.
Tip 3: Stay away from violent cleaning products
In order to attract consumers, some businesses over-pile up the vibration frequency and sweeping angle of the electric toothbrush, but do not pay attention to adjusting and balancing the various parameters of the electric toothbrush, misleading people to think that the electric toothbrush has a high vibration frequency and a large sweeping angle is a strong cleaning power, but in fact, the two cannot be equated, if we blindly pursue a high vibration frequency and high sweeping angle, the electric toothbrush will feel a strong vibration, and it is easy to hurt the teeth! We should still choose products with a vibration frequency between 25000-40000.
Tip 4: Pay attention to the pros and cons of the three types of electric toothbrushes
Electric toothbrushes can be divided into three categories: rotary, integrated and sonic according to the working principle, the cleaning power of rotary and sweeping products is good, but the vibration of electric toothbrushes is too strong, and the sweeping angle is too large or even more than 60 degrees (dentists recommend that the sweeping range is not more than 9 °), which will excessively damage the teeth and gums during cleaning, and this cleaning intensity is only suitable for European and American people with very high oral tolerance. Compared with the other two, the sonic electric toothbrush has a lower tooth damage rate when brushing, has excellent cleaning power and tooth protection, and is more suitable for the oral environment of Chinese people, and is also the most recommended type of electric toothbrush for dentists.
Tip 5: Buy a style with good compatibility
The oral environment of Chinese people is complex and changeable, so we need to use electric toothbrushes with good compatibility with Chinese people's mouth, which requires electric toothbrushes to have a wide enough range of power intensity, rich brush head types and gears, such as power intensity range, to reach a certain width, in order to provide users with more suitable oral cleaning strength.
Tip 6: Give priority to magnetic levitation motors
As the core component of electric toothbrushes, there are generally two types, namely magnetic levitation motors and coreless motors, high-quality electric toothbrushes are generally equipped with magnetic levitation motors, which have a scientific and precise internal structure, strong performance, stable vibration frequency, low noise and longer service life. However, the coreless motor often has problems such as unstable vibration frequency and force attenuation, poor brushing experience, and high hidden dangers of tooth injury, so it is not recommended for everyone to choose!
Tip 7: Pay attention to the quality of the brush head
Factors such as bristle hardness, wrapping, hair planting rate, and brush head size will all affect the quality of the brush head. Here I will take the roundness of the bristles as an example, Chinese people need to choose an electric toothbrush with a roundness of more than 80%, the higher the better, if the roundness of the toothbrush you use is low, it is easy to wear out the teeth.
Tip 8: Buy a brand with after-sales service in place
It is recommended that you choose a brand that supports a seven-day trial, and then decide whether to stay after measuring the electric toothbrush, if you feel that it is not easy to use, you can also return it in time, which can effectively reduce the cost of trial and error, and you should also pay attention to the cost of replacing the brush head, the brush head should be replaced at least four times a year, if the replacement brush head is very expensive, the cost will be relatively large.
The above tips for choosing an electric toothbrush are very important. Nowadays, there are many products on the market that are shoddy and deceive consumers. For example, some products claim to be effective gum and tooth protection, but in fact there is a higher risk of tooth damage. Therefore, we should not easily believe the claims of merchants, but look at the product review data. The figure below shows the evaluation data of the cleaning power and mouth protection index of electric toothbrushes provided by authoritative dental forums, which has high reference value. In addition, I personally tried some products and selected a few good products for you to choose as a reference.
As a blogger who has used more than 30 electric toothbrushes, many media recognize that the professional old brand Huile is the originator of the current "toothless" field in China, which focuses on ten years of "tooth anti-aging" medical research, and is also the most professional and outstanding old brand in the field, the biggest feature is that the main "surgical" precise cleaning, does not hurt teeth! Pioneering research and development of eight non-tooth, cleaning, anti-aging black technology, the tooth injury rate is reduced to 89%! The cleaning residue rate is less than 2%, and won the EU certification! 100% It is compatible with 83 kinds of oral environments, which is very powerful. With good frequency uniformity, strong power and low attenuation, it is the first brand in the industry to provide orthodontic brush heads, and it is very compatible with people. The reason why they can do it is to focus on it! No redundant functions, no large number of models, just a product for several years, iterative upgrade of more than 20 versions! Optimize more than 300 details! After 6 years of anti-attenuation testing, it has achieved 6 years of comprehensive performance, durability, tooth and gum damage rate certification, and the non-toxic and corrosion-resistant bristles have been increased by 98.3%, which is safer and non-toxic!
Relying on ten years of practical experience in "dental anti-aging", the team has made high-precision black technology that does not hurt teeth, such as dual-structure magnetic levitation motor and innovative gingival high-frequency array massage technology, so that the accuracy and error rate of vibration frequency and sweeping angle are not higher than 0.03% within 6 years. Combined with rich experience in "tooth anti-attenuation" medical technology, oral microcirculation is increased by 93%, reducing the incidence of gingivitis and periodontitis and alleviating symptoms.
Huile is not the kind of brand that chases the trend, in the face of the high rate of tooth injury in the market, everyone is fighting for the appearance of low price, Huile does not hurt teeth, rational, rigorous research and development concept is widely recognized, giving people a down-to-earth, pragmatic, rigorous and scientific feeling, never advertise, nor engage in live broadcast with goods, purely relying on the dentist's word-of-mouth communication, by the authoritative media as word-of-mouth, the best quality treasure brand. Some celebrities and dentists are also using their homes for dental care, and dentists are recognized as very protective of teeth!
Of course, if you pursue cost-effective, you can look at Bayer and Shuke and Libode in low-priced products, and you can consider a brush head of about 20 yuan (3-4 pieces are needed a year), and it will not be returned.
In terms of after-sales, Philips does not support trials, and the brush head cost 100-150 yuan a year. Huile not only supports unpacking and trial, but also gives away a 5-year brush head for a limited time.
Fourth, the six benefits of professional electric toothbrushes!
What are the side effects of an electric toothbrush? Unprofessional electric toothbrushes do have side effects, but as far as a professional and high-quality product is concerned, you can use it with confidence, because it has many benefits, and it is very necessary to use it for oral care. Data shows that 90% of adults are suffering from tooth decay and periodontitis, which means that our oral cavity is more complex and fragile, and care is more difficult. Traditional oral cleaning tools are difficult to meet the current oral cleaning needs, so dentists believe that the use of electric toothbrushes is very necessary, which can bring the following benefits to our oral health:
Benefit 1: The cleaning effect is outstanding, which can effectively prevent and improve dental disease
The oral cleaning effect that can be achieved by electric toothbrushes is far greater than that of manual toothbrushes, and some blind spots that cannot be done by manual toothbrushes, such as tooth gaps, gingival grooves, and backs of teeth, can be brushed clean, and plaque in the oral cavity can be fully removed, which can prevent and improve dental disease.
Benefit 2: Can massage the soft tissues of the gums
An electric toothbrush can also massage the gums while cleaning the teeth, which can promote blood circulation inside the soft tissues of the gums, help friends who wear braces relieve the pressure on the gums, and effectively prevent gum recession.
Benefit 3: Brush your teeth with accurate control
Manual toothbrush is a subjective control of brushing strength, the position of a good brush such as the tooth surface is often over-cleaned, and the gingival sulcus, wisdom teeth and other positions are tricky, so that the strength is not enough, it is easy to leave a cleaning dead angle, while the electric toothbrush has a stable vibration frequency, can accurately operate the brushing strength, to avoid the force of the tooth injury or the force of the brush is not clean.
Benefit 4: Better removal of bad breath odor
There are many cleaning dead corners of manual toothbrushes, and plaque and food residues that are not cleaned in place are often fermented in the mouth, which is easy to produce peculiar smells, which has an impact on the freshness of breath, while electric toothbrushes have a wide range of cleaning ranges, and there are no blind spots, which can avoid the occurrence of oral odor from the source and help everyone keep their breath fresh.
Benefit 5: Save time and effort
Manual toothbrush cleaning efficiency is low, at least more than 10 minutes to fully clean the mouth, but if you use an electric toothbrush, two or three minutes can be done, very time-saving and labor-saving, it is very necessary to use it for office workers and students with a tight pace of life.
Benefit 6: Makes teeth whiter
For stubborn stains such as tea stains, cigarette stains, and coffee stains, manual toothbrushes are basically powerless, while electric toothbrushes can gradually clean these stains, and can also slow down the formation of dental calculus and help everyone whiten their teeth.
What are the side effects of electric toothbrushes? That's all for sharing this question today. In fact, only unprofessional electric toothbrushes will have side effects, so as long as you don't make mistakes when buying products, you can buy high-quality electric toothbrushes with strong gum and tooth protection capabilities, so that side effects will not appear.
